...until death do re-unite or the Priestess return to Avalon.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
The moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self .
This character appears in one of my short stories, and also in the novel. He's sadder than he looks, poor thing.
About Me
- JJ
- Ashbourne, Derbyshire, United Kingdom
- I've never had money because I've never been driven by money. I received little formal education beyond the age of sixteen, which isn't such a bad thing since you get a different angle on life that way. Learning what you want and need to learn often reveals things that the system's road keeps hidden.

Anyone interested in viewing the availablity of my novel Odyssey or novella The Gift Horse can do so here.

Free Fiction
I have another blog called A Handful of Stories on which I've posted some of my short fiction. Most of it has been published by a variety of independent small press publishers, so somebody other than me must have thought it worth reading.

i want you to find something interesting about belinda...i just never like people with that name!
Well, it's an anagram of 'Bad line.' Or I could say 'Be Linda if you must, but try to get over it.' Problem is, two family members are called Linda, and they're both nice people.
Are you bored today Jeff? ;) I see myself in a whole new light!
A silvery light, no doubt. I wrote that last night after I'd had a beer. I thought 'bet Melanie's an anagram of something.' And it was! And I giggled!
Hahahha, this is great!
Best I can do for you so far, Maria, is 'sailor man due.' Do you like Popeye?
